Cocolo – The Ethical Chocolate Review – A Must Read For Lovers Of Chocolate

Cocolo’s philosophy is simple – to create the best natural, ethical and delicious chocolate. I consider myself to be quite the connoisseur when it comes to chocolate. I have eaten and enjoyed many different types over the years. I came across Cocolo in a health food mag and contacted the company for some to be sent out for review. I know alot of you are asking what does chocolate have to do with this blog? Well Cocolo is pure chocolate created from certified organic ingredients. The cocoa in Cocolo not only tastes delicious but is also a naturally rich source of beneficial antioxidants. Cocolo is sweetened with evaporated cane juice, which is dense in the nutrients that are usually lost in the sugar refinement process. I am also loving Cocolo because even though it is made in Switzerland this premium velvety, smooth chocolate is in fact Australian owned. With certifications for being both Fairtrade & Organic as well as being GMO FREE there isn’t much to NOT like about Cocolo now is there. Oh and another added bonus is Cocolo do not lie, I have to agree that every bar is, quite simply, delicious. Just to be sure I tried 3 different varieties ( piggy piggy )

Taste – Smooth texture with nice big evenly distributed hazelnuts. ( Hate it when they are not even makes it hard to share ) Not to sweet it tastes how chocolate is meant to taste it was nice to enjoy the cocoa element rather than the sweet side. My teeth hurt when I eat cheaply made chocolate. Not a single niggle while I enjoyed my treat which to me is a great indicator of its purity.

Packaging – You pretty much get all the info you need about Cocolo on it’s 100% recycled label. I really like that Cocolo have kept it nice and simple, covered all bases information wise and are conscious of the planet.

Taste – Never really been a fan of white chocolate and was slightly disappointed when I received it ( how rude of me ) I am however really glad it was sent to me. This is how white chocolate is meant to taste. I usually find white chocolate to be loaded with so much sugar that it robs me of a true chocolate experience also taking into consideration the teeth thing I get I usually avoid it all together. Cocolo white with almond crunch is the Mercedes-Benz of white chocolate again no sore teeth no overwhelming sweetness it is just right. Lengthy discussions were had with the hubby over this flavour of Cocolo. Kids loved it too and they weren’t bouncing off the walls. If you ever come across this one you have to try it YUM!!!!!

Smell - mmmmmmmmm I LOVE LOVE LOVE dark chocolate the higher the cocoa content the better. You can smell both the mint and cocoa, my mouth is salivating thinking about it.

Taste – Cocolo Dark Mint Crisp chocolate is ………… OMG ….. so good. It has a bitter taste and a slight grainy texture that may put some people off but to me it’s what real chocolate is all about . The mint is quite refreshing. I found it to be very more-ish which luckily is ok by me so much so that I enjoyed every last morsel guilt free. No sharing with this one. Ladies have you ever wondered why around the time of your monthly “special friend” comes to town you find yourself grabbing for chocolate? There have been suggestions that chocolate cravings during menstruation are related to a deficiency of magnesium or are linked to carbohydrate consumption to self-medicate depression, but no strong evidence has been found to prove either one, I myself am going to believe that it’s the truth and the reason behind my cravings If there was a chocolate out there that ticks all the boxes COCOLO is that chocolate.
